CA Lottery Results: Jackpot Skyrockets—Check Winning Numbers & Claim Tips Now

California lottery fever is surging again as multiple draw games line up life-changing prizes for Golden State players. POWERBALL SOARS TO $426 MILLION No ticket matched all six numbers in Saturday’s drawing, pushing Monday’s Powerball jackpot to an estimated $426 million with a $193.5 million cash option. The winning numbers for Aug. 4 were 8-9-19-31-38 and Powerball 21, so Californians still have a shot at the game’s fifth-largest payout of 2025. Sales cut off at 7 p.m. PT on draw nights; tickets cost $2 and are available at more than 23,000 licensed retailers statewide. $400K TICKET SOLD IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY Even without the grand prize, Californians are snagging big secondary wins. A Powerball ticket worth $462,334 was sold at a liquor store in Rowland Heights for last Wednesday’s draw, matching five numbers but missing the Powerball. The winner has 180 days to claim at any California Lottery district office. SUPERLOTTO PLUS HITS DRAW #4000 California’s homegrown game reached a milestone Saturday with its 4,000th drawing. The Aug. 2 winning numbers were 3-11-12-18-46 and Mega number 12, but the $17 million jackpot rolled to $19 million for Wednesday night. Tickets remain $1, and odds of hitting all six numbers are 1 in 41 million—better than Powerball’s 1 in 292 million. MEGA MILLIONS CLIMBS TO $150 MILLION Not to be outdone, Tuesday’s Mega Millions jackpot stands at $150 million with a cash value of $67.9 million. The game recently minted a $328.5 million winner in Oregon and a $526.5 million winner in Southern California earlier this year, fueling renewed interest among local players.

Federal taxes still apply, and jackpots must be claimed within one year of the draw date (180 days for non-jackpot prizes). ODDS AND RESPONSIBLE PLAY While the headlines focus on nine-figure jackpots, remember the odds: 1 in 292,201,338 for Powerball, 1 in 302,575,350 for Mega Millions, and 1 in 41,416,353 for SuperLotto Plus.
